Doing the job but not carrying the card to prove it? 🪪

An NVQ Level 2 in your trade gets you the Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card. It shows you're qualified for the work you already do.

✅ Assessed at your place of work
✅ No classrooms or written work
✅ No time away from site

Message us or visit bit.ly/47eBIcY to get started.

Two gold cards. Two different NVQs. Make sure you're going for the right one. 🏅

✅ Gold Advanced Craft card: Level 3 NVQ in your trade
✅ Gold Supervisor card: Level 3 NVQ in Occupational Work Supervision, or Level 4 in site supervision

Either way, you get qualified on the job. Our assessors come to your site or assess you over video call. No classrooms, no written work, no time off work.

Already working in your trade? Message us or visit bit.ly/47eBIcY to find out which Level 3 fits your role.

Our search for a freelance assessor is still open, and it could be a great fit if you want flexible work that fits around your own schedule.

You'd be assessing learners across construction, plant and thermal insulation qualifications, taking them from induction through to certification. The thermal insulation side is a key part of the role, so you'll need to be TICA approved and able to deliver the Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Thermal Insulation (Construction) as well as construction and plant NVQs.

Why assessors enjoy working with us:

- Freelance flexibility, so you choose the work that suits you
- A varied caseload across multiple qualifications rather than one repetitive round
- A supportive team and clear processes behind you

If you hold your assessor qualification, TICA approval and a full driving licence for the travel involved, we'd like to hear from you.

Still on a Blue card but running the job like a supervisor?
Got your Gold but doing the work of a site manager?

The right CSCS card should match what you're actually doing on site, not what you started out with.

Blue Card: skilled worker, Level 2 NVQ.
Gold Card: supervisor or advanced tradesperson, Level 3 or 4 NVQ.
Black Card: site manager, Level 6 or 7 NVQ.

If your responsibilities have moved on but your card hasn't, it might be time to sort that.

Portland Training can help you get the right card for the job you're already doing. Get in touch.
